Camp Lo - Stone & Rob Caught On Tape
Stone & Rob is a decent album by Camp Lo. While it hits the mark on a few occasions, it does not capture the magic of their 1997 jump-off, which they seem to be trying to recreate. Perhaps their next release will be more Blu-Ray than eight-track.
While sonically better than the original, More Grey Hairs is simply a rehashed version of its predecessor. Its not necessarily a terrible thing, with many tracks having a similar taste Reks is unable to fully give a broad spectrum of who he truly is
While The Rebirth has its moments, Bobby Valentino's sub-par pen game is what proves to be his greatest downfall, turning otherwise notable singles into quickly forgotten stanzas
Although some tracks were curiously omitted and the mixtape only limited to the crew's first two efforts, Bobby Evans turns in a faithful ode to The Pharcyde that both fans and newcomers can enjoy
Ghostface - Ghostdeini The Great
Ghostdeini The Great isn't an album than it is a reminder of the indelible impression Tony Starks has carved in his career. Unfortunately for those who already own most of Ghostface's archives, heads may avoid this one.
With another strong outing in Tronic, Black Milk continues the trend of Detroit's musical revolution. With its quality beats and above-average raps, Motown has delivered another dope album to go along with their revolution
A freshly-united Pharcyde takes DX down the path of creating five classics, with some shocking revelations.
The Diplomats' battle-brawler takes his fitted off to have some laughs about Hell Rell Facts, Killa Season and more.
While most of the album is your standard Neptunes, experimental affair, N.E.R.D. suffers through immature lyrical content and limited subject matter, essentially detracting from the overall experience.
Unfortunately for HNIC 2, with bland beats and sorry rhymes, this is a shoddy send-off disc he leaves behind during his government-sponsored vacation
One of Hip Hop's top photographers talks shooting all Jay's covers, Akinyele's attitude, and The Carter III cover.
Slang Editorial: A Job Ain't Nothin' But Work
In honor of Black History Month, HipHopDX's Meka Udoh breaks down an almost-A-to-Z of rap dream jobs.
Although it has its moments, Who Am I? will only truly satisfy diehard fans of Cormega's legal hustle. For the rest though, they should only continue to wait for the next Montana diary.
11:11 is a welcome change of pace from the normally paranoid RSE roster. Despite its inevitable (albeit quasi-stereotypical) similarities toInterscope's melanin-deprived cash cow, Mac adds yet another golden star to Rhymesayers' impressive r
Slang Editorial: Hip Hop's Gulliest Moments
From rappers eating people (literally) to others shitting on themselves (literally) Meka presents some interesting moments in Hip Hop.
The Kush unfortunately gives listeners less reason to wonder why Havoc has played the back for so long, while Prodigy has remained the (sometimes-swollen) mouthpiece of the crew. Perhaps now he'll stick to crafting those moody heatrocks more often.
Chamillionaire - Ultimate Victory
The Ultimate Victory may sound as if Chamillionaire is determined to serve that cold dish from The Sound Of Revenge, but it surprisingly takes an entirely different route, providing one of the most interesting musical meals for the fall season.
Steve Biko - Remember Me? I'm Not A Rapper Though...
How is it that a community can forever remember the death of a rapper but when the name Steve Biko is mentioned nothing but blank stares?
Public Enemy - How To Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Sou
How You Sell...is yet another in a long line of great albums from Public Enemy. And while they will probably never be able to influence the masses as they did in their heyday, the fans that have stuck with them throughout will not be disappointed.
Swizz Beatz - One Man Band Man
Swizz is an anomaly in Hip Hop. Since blasting his way into rap's collective minds over a decade, he's remained a heavy player in the game; yet despite his recent run of chart-topping club smashes is not as favored as some of his rivals.
Boot Camp Clik - Casualties Of War
Casualties Of War is nothing more than an appetizer to whet Duck Down fan's appetites until their next official LP. However, with Ruck's Master P now floating around, only the die-hards should pick up this compilation to get their fix.
